Even though he’s still in high school, Chancellor Sparks is mindful of his role on the football field and in the classroom.

“As student athletes, it is important for us to use our voice to share positive messages,” said the A.H. Parker High School senior. “Many young people look up to us athletes, so I think it is important for us to use football in any of our other platforms to spread peace.”

James Reynolds, a senior at Ramsay High School, said football is not just about competition but also community.

“Listening to [one of the coaches] at practice, he preaches that the community is bigger than you think it is,” Reynolds said. “It is not just always about you and your family, but it’s outside families that suffer from the same problems you go through.

Sparks, of the 6A state champion Parker Thundering Herd and Reynolds, of the Ramsay Rams were at historic Legion Field on Monday as their teams prepare for the Third Annual BCS Stop the Violence Classic August 21 in the stadium at 7 p.m.

The game has added meaning. Just last week Parker lost an assistant coach to gun violence.

“Violence of any kind affects more than just the people involved; it affects families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and the list goes on,” Sparks said.

The game is a collaborative effort between the two schools, with the goal of using football as a platform to address violence.

The idea for the game came after Ramsay won the state championship in 2022 when the team and coaches wanted to support the community.

“It’s a great, fun football game between two outstanding programs that both have a history of both pride and excellence,” said Sparks. “It is a combination of our local regional and state officials banding together to say that violence has absolutely no place in our community.”

“This is more than just about our school, it’s about our community and we want to keep our community safe,” Reynolds said.

Added Sparks, “This classic is a way to remind everyone in the city of Birmingham that while we may play and cheer for different teams on the football field, we are all on the same team off the field as we all battle to stop the violence.”

Alabama A&M Boasts Record-Breaking Enrollment With More Male Students Coming To HBCU

Alabama A&M boasts record-breaking enrollment with more male students coming to HBCU. (Alabama AAMU)

By Nahlah Abdur-Rahman | Black Enterprise

Alabama A&M University has kicked off its 150th year with record-breaking enrollment for its freshman class.

The HBCU in Huntsville, Alabama, has introduced its largest cohort in years for the class of 2029. The school announced at its annual Torch Lighting ceremony that 2,157 preliminarily registered first-time freshmen have begun their studies. This has already surpassed last year’s record, with a significant percentage of male students included.

Alabama A&M confirmed that male students make up 42% of its freshman class, a significant feat for the school as HBCUs everywhere struggle with a declining male population. Covered by Black Enterprise last September, enrollment of Black men at HBCUs has seen a downward trend over the previous five decades.

Many factors, including financial, cultural, and social barriers, led to this jarring statistic. In light of these challenges, HBCUs have intensified their initiatives to bring Black male scholars back into the classroom. The news of these increased numbers at Alabama A&M represents progress at the school and HBCUs across the nation.

Alabama A&M also celebrates its diverse population with plans for a lived-in campus experience. The class of 2029 has traveled from all over to attend Huntsville. Students from 40 states and five countries now represent the cohort. The majority also have plans to live on campus, with 62% of first-year students registered to stay in its residences.

As the HBCU embarks on its milestone year of educating Black and diverse youth, it continues to build upon its initial success to evolve into a new age of academia. As students begin their classes, they will also engage in a month-long Bulldog Welcome Experience. Its scheduled activities include orientation workshops, leadership sessions, and classic HBCU traditions like the National Pan-Hellenic Council Yard Show and the Louis Crews Classic football game.

Versatility and Soulful Sounds of Teddy Swims Fill Birmingham’s Coca-Cola Amphitheater

During his set, Teddy Swims moved seamlessly from raspy, soul infused ballads to upbeat pop anthems.

Story and Photographs by Marika N. Johnson

Teddy Swims brought his powerhouse vocals to Birmingham, on Friday, August 15, headlining as the 15th show of the inaugural year of the city’s new Coca-Cola Amphitheater. The Atlanta-born singer, who has quickly risen from internet fame to international tours, drew a packed house for a performance that highlighted his versatility and soulful sounds.

Swims, whose real name is Jaten Dimsdale, is recognized as one of today’s leading blue-eyed soul singers, showcased the full range of his sounds. He moved seamlessly from raspy, soul infused ballads to upbeat pop anthems that included songs like “Lose Control” and “Bad Dreams.”

The Coca-Cola Amphitheater, Birmingham’s newest live music venue, proved an ideal setting. With clear acoustics and wide open design, the venue provided fans a comfortable and scenic atmosphere for the city’s growing slate of concerts.

Near the end of the set, Swims sat at the edge of the stage and spoke about the recent birth of his first child, noting that Birmingham was close enough for his newborn, his girlfriend and fellow singer Raiche Wright, and his father to join him on this leg of the tour. He followed with an emotional performance of “Tiny Hands”, a song dedicated to his baby, which drew applause from the crowd. His humility resonated with fans who cheered him on.

The performance underscored why Swims has been able to cross boundaries so effortlessly. He is old school R&B, a bit of country and modern pop, confirming two things: His compelling soulful voice and Coca-Cola Amphitheater’s place as a new centerpiece in Birmingham’s live music scene.

IMPORTANT BIDDER INFORMATION

 

 

 

Bidders are expected to prepare their bid to include all necessary material, labor, bonds, permits, overhead, profit, taxes, insurance, etc. costs. It is not the City’s obligation to bring mistakes/omissions in bid to bidder’s attention. If after bid opening, a bidder determines he has a mistake in bid, he may seek withdrawal of his bid without forfeiting his bond, if the request is in writing within three (3) work days after the bid opening, and is accompanied by clear and convincing evidence of the mistake.

 

 

 

All cashier’s checks or bid bonds will be returned immediately after bids are checked and tabulated to all except the three (3) lowest bona fide bidders. Bid bonds shall be returned to the three (3) lowest bona fide bidders when the contract is signed, and performance and payment bonds and insurance are furnished by the successful bidder. If award is not made within fifteen (15) days after bid opening, all bid guarantees will be returned except for those of the potentially successful bidders. If after sixty (60) days, no award has been made, all bids shall be rejected, and the potentially successful bidder’s guarantee will be returned unless the bidder agrees in writing to a time extension. If a time extension is effected, bidder may substitute any cashier’s check for a satisfactory bid bond.

 

 

 

Any contract resulting from this Invitation to Bid shall not be assignable without prior written consent of the City. Under no conditions shall the contract be assigned to an unsuccessful bidder whose bid was rejected as non-responsive and/or non-responsible.

 

 

 

Special attention is called to the applicability of the Birmingham Plan-Construction Industry Program to the project. Under this Program, the utilization of Minority Business Enterprises and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (MBE/DBE) is encouraged on a voluntary basis. The Construction Industry Authority established a system of floating MBD/DBE goals which may differ from year to year and project to project. Overall, these goals shall not be less than the historical participation of MBD/DBE’s in construction projects of the City and its agencies. Additional information about this Program is contained in the Project Manual and may be obtained from the Executive Director, Birmingham Construction Industry Authority at 3600 4th Avenue, South, Birmingham, Alabama 35222 (Telephone:205-324-6202).For federally funded contracts, the provisions of the President’s Executive Order 11246 and federal agency regulations requiring affirmative action to achieve employment and utilization of minority persons and business will apply.

 

 

 

As a matter of public policy, the City of Birmingham agrees to make opportunities available to the maximum extent possible, to actively include Historically Underutilized Business Enterprises (HUBE’s) such as architectural firms, engineering firms, investment banking firms, other professional consultant services providers, and construction contractors as part of business, economic and community revitalization programs.

Minister of Music Michael Mays Builds on the Legacy New Hope Baptist’s Great Choirs

By Sym Posey | The Birmingham Times

For Michael Mays, Minister of Music at New Hope Baptist Church in West End, inheriting a music department with a long and stellar history in the state of Alabama is not only a privilege but an honor.

Earlier this year, New Hope was named the nation’s best choir at the highly competitive Sound Awards in Dallas.

“It was truly a blessing,” Mays told the Birmingham Times. “Over 25 choirs across the nation hand selected by the Sound Awards competed [and] New Hope’s Choir was the only choir from Alabama selected for the Church of the Year category.

“To just be acknowledged and as the only choir in Alabama, then to go on and win the whole entire thing, with some prestigious churches and music ministries that was nominated as well. That was truly a great honor to receive that,” Mays said.

Before becoming music minster at New Hope in 2022, Mays played the piano and drums after joining as a member in 2008 under the legendary Dr. Prince Emmanuel Yelder, who served as music minister at New Hope from 2001-2017.

“I learned a lot, just already being in the House, just being a musician,” Mays said. “… [Yelder] showed me a lot of ways how to do music ministry and handle a whole mass choir. And to be able to come back and actually be the minister of music, I already knew how this House worked, I already knew how Pastor Clarke worked.”

Yelder said Mays was always a quick study and energetic. “He brought his excitement to the worship experience, often dancing and engaging the congregation in popular tunes.”

Yelder remembers when Mays’s mom would bring her son to rehearsals when she was a member of Birmingham Mass Choir, which Yelder directed. “Mike, as we call him, would be at the rehearsal and finally got up the nerve to ask me if he could play the drums in our rehearsals.  I told him ‘yes’ and he began to play.

“A few years later, I was doing a recording with the Jacksonville State University Gospel Choir as their producer and there was Mike singing with that choir as he had started attending school there.  He had begun to play keyboard instruments and direct.  I saw growth and potential in him.  I pulled him aside and offered him a position as musician at New Hope.”

“Magnetic”

Dr. Gregory L. Clarke has served as the pastor of New Hope Baptist Church since 1986 and in 2022 selected Mays for the role of Minister of Music, making Mays just the third person to hold the position under Clarke.

“Over 39 years I’ve only had three ministers of music,” Clarke said. “So, I have had stability when it comes to the choir. Mike is an extraordinary musician, but he also brings passion with whatever he does. His passion and his gifts are contagious. That is what spreads across to all the members of the church and in the congregation, whether it is this congregation or we are in front of another.”

Clarke describes Mays as “magnetic.”

“It takes a special type of anointing to do the quality of music that we are talking about,” said the pastor. “As the minister of music, he is not only over the mass choir, but also over our praise group, ‘Spirit of Levi.’ He also has a male chorus, and he also has all of our dance teams that includes mimes, youth, and adult praise teams.”

On Sunday, August 3, Mays celebrated his third anniversary as the Minister of Music. “And it has been a blessing,” he said. “We went from about 15 to about 40 choir members. We have a full band. It is exciting to be a part of.”

Natural Born Musician

As a Birmingham-native, Mays, 36, said his passion for music began at an early age.

“I think I I was born to do music,” he said. “Even when I was two years old, I would just pick up anything just to make a beat, and then it just started going from there. I wanted to learn how to play the piano, so I started taking piano lessons and it just [grew] from there.”

He attended Huffman High School where he led the band as drum major in 2006 and a member of the drumline in 2007.

Mays not only lends his gifts to New Hope Baptist Church but always to several high school marching bands. “I work out with Birmingham City School Marching bands. I have worked out with Ramsay High School, Clay Chalkville, and I have worked out with Minor High School,” said Mays.

Every first and third Sunday, the mass choir performs at New Hope Baptist Church.

“Usually, we meet on Tuesdays at 7 o’clock,” said Mays. “When we are getting ready for a concert, like one that we usually do in October called, Music and Cultural Arts Ministry (MACAM) concert. Usually when we are getting ready for that, you can catch us rehearing every week as we are preparing for that. “

MACAM is New Hope’s annual concert that celebrates the whole music culture arts.

“This year we’re doing the fourth Sunday in October. So we’re going to close out here in Birmingham, of course, we do the [Magic City] Classic weekend, which is that Saturday. We’re going to close it out that Sunday by doing our concert.”

Mays said his main goal overall is to continue the legacy set before him.

“Hopefully I can keep the mantle going so I can pass it down to the next person, and the legacy keeps going about the New Hope Choir,” he said.

By Marika N. Johnson | For The Birmingham Times

Birmingham native Pynk Beard a.k.a. Sebastian Kole, a Grammy award-winning songwriter turned rising country artist, has officially joined the roster at Red Bull Records, the indie label launched by the energy drink company of the same name. The signing was announced as he released his newest single “Sip”, a track that will appear on his debut EP Red Dirt Diaries, expected this fall.

The release comes with a hometown touch. The official music video was shot at Mom’s Basement, a beloved Birmingham bar, where Pynk Beard is seen serving drinks before stepping into the spotlight as an electrifying performer.

Greg Hammer, Managing Director at the label, called the Birmingham native’s artistry “original and culturally resonant,” adding that his ability to build a following before even dropping a full project speaks to his unique talent.

For Pynk Beard, the deal marks a new chapter. “I’m so grateful to be a part of the Red Bull Records family,” he said. “They’ve supported me from the very beginning with singles like ‘I Lived’ and ‘Mine Lord Willing,’ and their genuine belief in me as an artist means the world. The future here is bright and PYNK.”

From penning hits as a songwriter to carving out his own lane as a performer, Pynk Beard continues to showcase the sound of Birmingham on a national stage — bridging his Southern roots with a modern edge.

Calvin Woods Sr., Birmingham Civil Rights Leader, ‘Servant of God’, Dies at 91

By Barnett Wright | The Birmingham Times

Bishop Calvin Woods Sr., distinguished Birmingham Civil Rights leader and longtime pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church in Norwood, died on Saturday. He was 91.

Mr. Woods was one of the city’s leading voices for equality for decades and one of the few area pastors to have worked and traveled with Civil Rights icon the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“My heart is heavy today,” his grandson, Rock City Church Pastor Mike McClure Jr., posted on social media. “My grandfather, Bishop Calvin Woods, has gone home to be with the Lord. He was more than family to me. He was a trailblazer, a freedom fighter, and a faithful servant of God who gave his life to the cause of justice and the Kingdom.”

Mr. Woods, who would have turned 92 on Sept. 13, was part of the fight for Civil Rights in Birmingham in the 1950s and 1960s, even getting arrested and beaten for his efforts to desegregate buses in Birmingham. In his work, Mr. Woods also fought for voting rights and even participated in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963.

McClure posted Saturday this his grandfather’s voice “carried the sound of courage in the Civil Rights Movement. His prayers lifted generations. His love for God and people left a mark that time cannot erase.”

In January 2022 McClure spent more than an hour interviewing his grandfather for an article the appeared in The Birmingham Times. McClure described his grandfather during the interview as “one of my personal heroes, one of my homiletic heroes, one of my historic heroes.”

In the one-on-one McClure asked Mr. Woods “what one message” would he like to leave with the world?”

“Let’s keep on serving Jesus, looking to Him and that’s what we’ve got to do,” Mr. Woods replied, “We can’t let nothing get ahead of Him … you’ve got to use all your abilities and influence to get people to get on the right road and turn to Christ.”

Mr. Woods was born in Birmingham on Sept. 13, 1933, the son of Abraham and Maggie Rosa Lee Wallace Woods. He grew up in Birmingham and graduated from A.H. Parker High School in 1950. It was during his time at Parker that Mr. Woods developed his public speaking skills. Mr. Woods was the younger brother of Abraham Woods, another Civil Rights trailblazer. Together, the brothers, along with the Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth, established the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights (ACMHR) in 1956.

The Woods brothers met King and Ralph Abernathy in 1962 and began working with them to fight segregation in Birmingham. Through his work with the ACMHR and alongside other Black clergy like Shuttlesworth and Dr. King, Mr. Woods also participated in numerous other efforts to support the cause of Civil Rights in Birmingham.

He was arrested later in 1956 for pushing for boycotts of the Birmingham buses, which were segregated at the time. After the arrest, Mr. Woods was fined and sentenced to prison for six months. Years later, after continual involvement with the Civil Rights movement in Birmingham, he was again arrested, and this time, beaten for participating in a protest, in 1963.

Woods also joined the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, and in 1965, protested how Birmingham handled voter registration. In 1966, he also served as the strategy chairman for a protest against the killing of Black protesters at a supermarket in the city.

Mr. Woods was pastor of East End Baptist Church in Southside from 1960 to 1974, before he moved to Shiloh Baptist Church. Mr. Woods became president of the SCLC Birmingham chapter in 2006 after his brother Abraham Jr. stepped down. In December 2021 Mr. Woods stepped down as president of the same chapter.

Mr. Woods had 13 children, 38 grandchildren, 68 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren.

Asked by his grandson in The Birmingham Times interview, how he wanted to be remembered, Mr. Woods replied, “a servant of God, who loved God and loved people, anything else doesn’t matter.”

A public viewing will be held from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, August 22 at Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, 1101 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW, Birmingham AL 35211.

Celebration of Life service will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 23 at Sardis Baptist Church West, 1615 4th Court West, Birmingham AL 35208.

Updated at 9:46 a.m. on 8/18/2025 with funeral arrangements.

First Grocery Store to Open in Fairfield in Nearly a Decade Will Close After 12 Months

The Birmingham Times

Carver Jones Market in Fairfield, Alabama, the city’s only grocery store and the first one to open in nearly 10 years, is closing.

In a statement to WBRC News, James Harris, owner, wrote in part: “I appreciate the people of Fairfield for giving us a chance and sorry things didn’t work out. Love the people and grateful for the opportunity.”

The minority-owned grocery store opened July 31, 2024 to provide the Fairfield community and surrounding areas with access to affordable, fresh foods and other key resources.

Senior Pastor Alton Hardy of Urban Hope Community Church, which owns the building the store occupies, said the community originally helped raise around $3.5 million to renovate it into a grocery store and help eliminate the food desert.

However, Hardy shared the store has been losing money. “We missed a lot of important benchmarks,” Hardy said. “That didn’t give it a good chance of doing what it was supposed to do.”

Part of the church’s Manifold Vision ministry is to generate commerce in the area and the church is stepping up to fill the void, said Hardy, who added that the grocery store will remain but under new leadership. They plan to announce a new name soon.

“I have 100 percent confidence by my Lord that the grocery stores not only going to remain open, but it will thrive,” said the pastor.

Cherith Glover Fluker Unveils Birmingham’s Hidden Treasures in Newly Released Book

Cherith Glover Fluker recently released her book, “Secret Birmingham: A Guide to The Weird, Wonderful and Obscure.’’ (Provided)

By Chanda Temple | City of Birmingham

In 2020, Cherith Glover Fluker started blogging about her travels across Alabama.

There was Gulf Shores, Muscle Shoals and Huntsville.

But as her travels expanded across the South, so did her vision for storytelling. Fluker realized that she was missing out on writing about Birmingham, which is where she did public service through her sorority, the Birmingham Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; and she served on the board of directors for the Greater Birmingham Auburn Club.  She pitched an idea to a publisher and settled on the concept of writing about the hidden gems in Birmingham. What would she call it? “Secret Birmingham: A Guide to The Weird, Wonderful and Obscure.’’

In it, she explored the familiar and not-so-familiar locations in Birmingham. For example, Oak Hill Cemetery, which was created when Birmingham was founded in 1871, is the final resting place for more than 11,000 people, including civil rights trailblazer, the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. The cemetery is also known to have been unsegregated during the height of segregation in Birmingham. Fluker wrote that veterans of the Civil War, World War I and World War II are buried at Oak Hill, which is located at 1120 19th St. North. It is diagonally across from the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex.

“I didn’t know they did tours there until I started doing my research,’’ said Fluker, 46. “Who knew?’’

The cover of "Secret Birmingham"

It took Fluker a year to write and research the book, which was released on Aug. 1. Already, it’s turning heads.

Last week, Fluker inboxed entrepreneur, actress and author Tabitha Brown, sharing that she met Brown while attending Brown’s book signings in Birmingham and Opelika in 2024, and today, she’s an author. This week, Brown shared Fluker’s message to Brown’s Instagram account, which has more than 4 million followers. In more than a day, the post generated hundreds of likes and thousands of views.

“One lady said, ‘I live in Chicago, but I will be going to Barnes and Noble to get your book,’ ‘’ Fluker said. “Another person said, ‘I don’t even live there, but I’m getting a book and planning a drive down.’  ‘’

Fluker is excited that the book has touched people beyond the bounds of Birmingham.

“I want people to be proud to the tell the stories of Birmingham,’’ she said. “I want locals to love this city, but I want other people love it, too.’’

Throughout the fall, Fluker will host a series of book signings at several places mentioned in the book to increase awareness about their existence. Her first book signing will be Saturday, Aug. 30 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the House Plant Collective, a brick-and-mortar store and a greenery shop on wheels, 3621 Fifth Ave. South, for “Pages and Plants.’’ There, attendees will be able to learn more about the book and do a plant-themed craft.

“I felt like a history buff writing this book,’’ she said. “I really had to dig and read other books, talk to people, make sure that the information was correct, as opposed to just going around taking pictures and relying on word of mouth,’’ she said.

Researching is hungry business, so, during her writing and reflection, Fluker visited several popular food and beverage destinations such as Gus’ Hotdogs, Dread River Distilling Co., the Market at Pepper Place and Niki’s West. They are all in the book, as is the General, a quaint sandwich and coffee shop in Forest Park, which is where Fluker ordered a cup of black coffee and a blueberry scone as she sought reassurance from a friend to write the book. The next day, Fluker signed her book contract.

It took Cherith Fluker a year to write and research her book about Birmingham, which was released on Aug. 1. (Provided)

Fluker started out with a list of 150 places to include in the book. But her publisher at Reedy Press encouraged her to cut it to 84. So, within 169 pages, she touched on a variety of locations, including Vulcan Park and Museum, Sloss Furnaces, the Japanese Garden at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Frank’s Table Sculpture on the Rotary Trail and Joe Minter’s African Village in America near Elmwood Cemetery. The city’s civil rights history is also highlighted, including Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, which is where four little girls were killed after segregationists planted a bomb under a set of steps in 1963; and the Historic Masonic Temple Building, which was built in 1922 and served as a meeting place during the civil rights movement.

Even though Fluker grew up in Talladega, she has strong ties to the Birmingham area. She worked for the Jefferson County Board of Education for six years; and her father, the late Willie C. Glover, sold cars at Edwards Chevrolet on Third Avenue North. On pages 36 and 37, she wrote about how the dealership, which opened in 1916, is a testament to resilience and tradition.

“That was a way for me to have a part of him in the book. I don’t mention his name, but I say my father worked there,’’ she said. “Even when I drive by there today, I look back at his corner office to see if someone is in there. He didn’t spend a lot of time in his office because he was always out on the lot, selling cars.’’
